A Design of Network for Packets with Information and Energy

“Power Packets” are one of useful ideas of power distribution for a highly-efficient and comfortable society with a low environmental impact and energy efficient systems. It has yet to be shown that it is feasible to generate physical electric power packets and control them with computers. This study aims to propose our definition of packets packed with information and energy (PIE) and show an experimental design of the protocol stack of PIE network. This study suggests a direction to design and implement apparatus to route PIEs. This paper also introduces our experimental router implementation for PIE network.
